Gate.io takes Bittrex’s lead; will delist major altcoins such as XRP, EOS, and Monero for U.S users

Regulations within the cryptocurrency industry have always been tricky to maneuver around. However, the ecosystem’s uncertainty is forcing some players to take caution and guard against the changing landscape. One such initiative is being undertaken by Gate.io. The exchange announced the delisting of several cryptocurrencies including EOS, Monero [XMR], and Ripple’s XRP, among others.

The official announcement read that some coins (cryptocurrencies) will not be available to U.S. users effective June 30, due to regulatory uncertainty. It further stated,

“Starting from June 30, 2019, USA users can not access to deposit and trading of the following coins: CNYX, EOS, XRP, TRX, XTZ, BTM, NAS, QTUM, NEO, GAS, XMR, BCN, XEM, WAVES, DCR, ONT, ONG, THETA and TFUEL. These coins will no longer display on the Market list to USA users after Jun 30. If you are a USA user, please withdraw them as soon as possible.”

This unforeseen decision made by the exchange will not affect non-USA users, who will continue to have full access to the above-mentioned coins without any changes.

Interesting enough, Bittrex also recently decided to do something similar a few days back. Bittrex announced that it would be delisting the following coins, namely, ADT, CMCT, GO, MFT, QRL, XEL, AMP, DNT, GTO, and 23 other cryptocurrencies, effective June 21. Similar to Gate.io, the said change would only be applicable for uses residing in the U.S.

The exchange had stated,

“After the Change Date, U.S. Customers will not be able to buy or sell the above-listed Tokens/Coins. On the Change Date, our systems will automatically cancel all open (i.e, unexecuted) orders in the affected markets for U.S. Customers.”

A Twitter user, @shirkhan, tweeted in response to the above-mentioned delisting,

“As of now @BittrexExchange will delist a couple of #cryptos ($XRP NOT affected) for US Users and @gate_io will do so as well ( $XRP getting delisted). Let‘s see if any of the big exchanges will follow suit. This only affects US so far. #XRPCommunity”
